General Notes Milne notes that the ostracon was broken, with one piece lost, when he read it. Pernigotti records only two inventory numbers, 2944 and 2945. LDAB records 2943 as part of the text. Whether 2943 is indeed the missing piece indicated by Milne--and what, if any, text it may have--was unknown when this text was entered (08.09.2017).
